I am not an accomplished web developer and the subject matter is still somewhat new to me. I tried it in coding with the debugger command but it didn’t stop at this point. I got through the coding, that I checked in the browser with the help of the developer tools, because in the CSS my new variable was displayed. But the command “debugger” did not work.

Hi,

What do you mean by “command ‘debugger'”? I do not understand from your topic where is a problem.

I am looking for a way to inspect my coding while it is running. For example, to run through the code per single step or to check variable contents. So that what a debugger offers at functionalities. The command “debugger” was a way I found on the internet to debug JavaScript. Question is if this also works together with Publii and what are the alternatives. Do I need to install a specific development environment or what is needed.

If you want to debug some variable values – you can try to use console.log commant – for back-end code it should be visible in the Tools -> Log viewer under renderer-* logs.

For the front-end code you should be able to see it in the browser JS console.
